"I love this album. It's really the follow up to his first album with that lo-fi home made feel. What makes this one different and unique in the McCartney catalogue is it's use of synths. The funky opener coming up is followed by the brilliant temporary secretary. This is really Paul experimenting..."  [+]  Reply

"Released between Suffer and Against the Grain, this string of albums, along with Stranger Than Fiction are all Punk Rock CLASSICS. This may not be as consistent as Against the Grain or Suffer but it's not far behind, and contains a lot of Bad Religion staple songs like I Want to Conquer the World..."  [+]  Reply

"Recovery is Eminem's 3rd best album. At his most vulnerable, he chronicles the up's and down's of addiction in a way only Eminem could. A more mature offering in delivery and theme, it's refreshing to see Eminem look at this own reflection instead of bashing and judging others; even if that is mo..."  [+]  Reply

"Lush Americana. That's the only way to describe it. Bruce Springsteen's 19th studio album 'Western stars' is quite probably the loveliest of his career. The musicianship is bliss and the production is immaculate. Opener 'Hitch hikin'' sets the tone for the album as we and Bruce thumb ourselves al..."  [+]  Reply

"No comments? Seriously? Great songs, very well produced, and catchy as hell. Girl U Want, Whip It, Gates of Steel, Don't You Know, Snowball, the whole thing is excellent."  Reply

"To me, Daisy is the best Brand New album. One may argue that it is because of my slight bias towards post-hardcore over emo, but after listening to Deja Entendu, TDAGARIM and Daisy many times I've come to the conclusion that this album is the best. Deja Entendu, to begin with, completely blew You..."  [+]  Reply

"Blur's debut album is a lot better than some people give it credit for. It's got a nice big sound and some great songs. There's no other way, is very good, obviously influenced by the Manchester scene of the early nineties, but the rest of the album is fine too. Bang, sing, and, I'm so high, are ..."  [+]  Reply

"As the years went by, Songs: Ohia albums only got more rootsy, more bluesy, more folksy, and more Americana-y, culminating in this, their penultimate studio album, though I use the term "studio" loosely because like most of their work (prior to their last album, "Magnolia Electric Co."), it sound..."  [+]  Reply
